Georgian and Regency Liverpool

Here's a brief introduction to the existing Georgian/Regency architecture in the city centre, with an emphasis on residential properties. There are about 600 houses in the city centre/Canning area which can loosley categorized as Georgian. Most of these date from 1830-1845 and are concentrated in the Canning area. Another 200 or so date from 1790 to 1830 and are spread across the city centre. Less than 100 are are pre -1790, or to use the official criteria Georgian proper as opposed to Regency 1790-1840. The Georgian housing stock has been considerably depleted in the last 50 years, around 400 houses have lost, mostly to the development of the Univesity but not exclusively so by any means. About a decade ago the Georgian Group published a pamphlet on the continuned destruction of the city's Georgian heritage, titled 'The agony of Georgian Liverpool' since then a further 70 properties have been lost. Scores more are under threat, not just in the city centre but in Everton rd and Shaw st Everton. Liverpool's Georgian legacy can't be compared with the likes of Bath,Edinburgh, London or Dublin, not even Brighton or Bristol. The city does have quite a large stock but with a few exceptions(some of Rodney st and Mount Pleasant ,Gambier Terrace and Percy st) most are quite modest. Never the less , the city still has the best inheritance of all the major core cities(bristol excepted) by a long way. This thread is probably for people who already have some knowledge or interest in this period/style of architecture. A lot of the images are close-ups, showing the details around doors and windows, and ironwork. Some clues to dating Liverpool Georgian. Like most provincial cities(certainly in the north) liverpool lagged behind London ,architecturally 10-20 years. Types of adornment that had gone out fashion in London and the south often persisted in Liverpool and other provincial cities for another 20 years. Architectural details: the keystone, the keystone only appears on a handful of properties, it had largely gone out of fashion by 1770 and is extemely rare after that date. Balconies: The earliest balconies in Liverpool appear in about 1810-1820(Great George's Square) Likewise porticoes, the earlist 1816 or thereabouts(the house on the corner of Parr st and Colquit st,Abercomby sq slightly later) Pedimented doorcases: Very rare after about 1815. I'll add more info as more images are uploaded.
